The latest betting odds are out from Sports Book Review and the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings are the teams most favored to win the Super Bowl.

After Week 16 in the NFL is nearly in the books, the Kansas City Chiefs are now third in the AFC in terms of best odds to win Super Bowl 52.

After their takedown of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday to clinch the AFC West and the Jacksonville Jaguars loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Super odds have shifted between the two, making the Chiefs a bit more favored to take it all this offseason. The Chiefs may have slumped significantly for the entirety of the mid-season but three straight wins have proven the offense and the defense are getting hot at the same time.

The New England Patriots remain the firm favorites to win it all, and the Minnesota Vikings are now the second most favored team. Check out the complete list below.

The Chiefs can take some confidence in knowing that not only are they playing well at the right time of the year, but they have already beaten some of the teams higher in the rankings. They took down the Patriots to open the season. They also bested the Philadelphia Eagles in the following week, and they are now without Carson Wentz.  The Steelers beat the Chiefs in Week 6, but they are now without Ryan Shazier and, maybe, Antonio Brown.

The Chiefs will begin the playoffs as the No. 4 seed and a home game against the No. 5 seed in the AFC, likely hosting the Baltimore Ravens in the process.
